The system provides a computer based presentation synchronized to a broadcast and not merely to an event. The system includes a customizable interface that uses a broadcast and a plurality of secondary sources to present data and information to a user to enhance and optimize a broadcast experience. The system defines templates that represent a customizable content interface for a user. In one embodiment, the templates comprise triggers, sources, widgets, and filters. In one embodiment the system receives the closed captioning feed (cc feed) of a broadcast and mines the text of the cc feed to identify keywords and triggers that will cause the retrieval generation, and/or display of content related to the keywords and triggers. The system can also use speech recognition to supplement, or to replace, the cc feed and identify key words and triggers used to initiate content.
